BBC are adding 100+ boxsets to iPlayer

The BBC have announced that this Christmas they’ll be adding boxsets of over a hundred beloved series to BBC iPlayer, from A Very British Scandal to Upstart Crow…

The BBC’s director of content Charlotte Moore announced the news in a statement: “Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without finding an extra little something beneath the tree and this year we want to offer something for everyone, with more than 100 box sets just waiting to be unwrapped. It’s a very special collection of British programming that we know people will love and a chance for everybody to spoil themselves with some real treats over the Christmas period.”

Telly fans will be able to indulge in dozens and dozens of BBC shows. Before Andrew Davies’ Les Misérables adaptation, fans can check out classic series such as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, House of Cards, War and Peace, Little Dorrit and Bleak House.

Meanwhile drama aficionados can enjoy Bodyguard, Killing Eve, McMafia and Informer as well as every modern series of Doctor Who up to and including Jodie Whittaker’s current run. Additionally, ahead of The Long Song, the BBC will add Andrea Levy’s previous series, Small Island.

The BBC will also be ensuring upcoming festive programming like Luther, The ABC Murders and Watership Down are retained on the service for fans to catch up on once they’ve aired.
